Postmortem intravascular high-density fluid level (hypostasis): CT findings

To evaluate postmortem CT (PMCT) finding of hypostasis. PMCT examinations were performed within 2 hours of death in 126 patients who arrived at our institution in nontraumatic cardiopulmonary arrest. PMCT showed hypostasis as high-density fluid level in the lumen of the heart or great vessels in 66...

Zusammenfassung:	To evaluate postmortem CT (PMCT) finding of hypostasis. PMCT examinations were performed within 2 hours of death in 126 patients who arrived at our institution in nontraumatic cardiopulmonary arrest. PMCT showed hypostasis as high-density fluid level in the lumen of the heart or great vessels in 66 of 126 patients (52%). Hypostasis is observed as an intravascular high-density fluid level on PMCT.
